Market Definition
Accounts Payable (AP) Automation is the act of processing invoices in a digital format and through a touchless process using an AP automation solution. In an ideal situation, 100% of invoices a company receives can be processed automatically without human intervention. AP automation is more than just Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
